The merits that we are going to consider number forty: the first fourteen are reserved for those who are attached to Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) through faith (belief), submission, respect and renunciation of all opposition, through his love and love for the people of the path with respect and veneration and without causing them any harm whatsoever.
As for the remaining merits, they are for all those affiliated to the path, who accomplish their litanies and even if they have not encountered Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) in this world. Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) said that this had been guaranteed to him by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and that without doubt it would be accomplished nonetheless on the condition never to believe yourself safe from ALLAH’s plan and never to abandon the path.
Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) warned his companions saying (or words to that effect): “I say unto you that the Master of Existence has affirmed that he who insults us and persists in insulting us without repentance will die as a disbeliever. I tell you that he who takes our wird and thinks that no sins can harm him and that because of this he is exposed to sins and disobedience all the time thinking that he is safe from ALLAH’s punishment, ALLAH is going to put hatred for us in his heart to the extent that he insults us. Then ALLAH will let him die a disbeliever, so beware of disobedience.”
The blessings reserved for the first category are:
1. They will die in Islam and with Faith.
2. The agony of death will be softened
3. In their tomb, they will see only what pleases them.

They will be settled with him in the highest degree of Iliyine.
37. Each and every one of them will receive the blessing to visit the noble heavenly garden of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (Rawda Sherifa) in his noble mosque (in Medina) as well as the blessing of the visit of all the Wali, since the beginning of creation, by means of reciting twelve times the prayer called as Djawharatul Kamel during the wazifa or otherwise, under the condition that the intention for the visit is formulated.

From the seventh bead of the recitation of Djawharatul Kamel, The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as well as the four Caliphs (may ALLAH be pleased with them): Abou Bakr As-Siddiq, ‘Omar ibn el Khattab, ‘Othman ibn ‘Affan and ‘Ali ibn Abi Taleb attend the wazifa with the people of the Tariqa.

Indeed, between the eyes of each one of them “Muhammad” is written and on their back, behind the heart “Muhammad ibn AbdALLAH” is written. Above their head, they wear a crown of light on which it is written that Tariqa Tidjaniya originates from the Muhammadian Truth.
ALLAH (The Glorified, The Exalted) said: “He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.” (Quran S21 V23)
ALLAH (The Glorified, The Exalted) said: “And ALLAH gives (of His Bounty, Blessings, Favours, Honours…) to whom He wills without limit” (Quran S2 V212)
